JERUSALEM, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- Militants in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula fired two rockets towards Israel on Sunday night, Israel's military said in a statement.
"Two rockets fired from the Sinai area hit the Eshkol Regional Council," the statement read. Eshkol is a region in southern Israel.
A spokesperson for the regional council said there was no immediate report of injuries, adding that the rockets apparently landed in an empty field.
The incident came two weeks after Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired a rocket towards Israel, which failed to reach Israeli territory. Israeli's army responded by attacking a Hamas post in the besieged enclave with artillery.
